   Indeed, even his parents knew that.

   In recent conversations with their 37-year-old son, Pretti's parents had told   
   him not to engage with federal officers. "We had this discussion with him two   
   weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do   
   not do anything stupid,   
    basically," Michael Pretti added, per CBS News. "And he said he knows that.   
   He knew that."   
      
   Family members of Pretti said that he owned a handgun and that he had a   
   permit to carry in the state of Minnesota, but had never known him to   
   carry the firearm. The shooting came as ICE agents were conducting an   
   operation to detain an illegal immigrant with a violent criminal   
   history.    
      
   , "At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted   
   operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault,   
   an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic   
   handgun, seen here.     
   The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently   
   resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming."   
      
   "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an   
   agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered   
   medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene. The   
   suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation   
   where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law   
   enforcement. About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to   
   obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control   
   measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law   
   enforcement. This situation is evolving, and more information is   
   forthcoming," the statement added.
